Ruby2shoes, Don’t remove the quilting you have already done. The only thing this quilt needs is more quilting. You can still do this with the binding on. No need to take out stitches or re-do the binding! Just add a smaller meander (or a bigger stipple) in the open areas. The closeness of the quilting is what is going to hold a quilt together for many many years. It does not have to be stiff as a board, but it must be a little more dense. Give it some more quilting and you will see the “bumpyness” disappear. Hope you post a photo again after you have added more quilting.
